From her eleventh year to the month of her death at age 55, Louisa
May Alcott kept copious journals. She never intended for them to be
published, but the insights they provide into her remarkable life
are invaluable. Alcott grew up in a genteel but impoverished
household, surrounded by the literary and philosophical elite of
19th-century New England, including Ralph Waldo Emerson, Henry
David Thoreau, and Nathaniel Hawthorne. Like her fictional alter
ego, Jo March, she was a free spirit who longed for independence,
yet she dutifully supported her parents and three sisters with her
literary efforts. In the journals are to be found hints of Alcott's
surprisingly complex persona as well as clues to her double life as
an author not only of ""high"" literature but also of serial
thrillers and Gothic romances. This unabridged edition of Alcott's
private diaries serves as a companion volume to ""The Selected
Letters of Louisa May Alcott"", offering a record of the life of an
extraordinary woman.
